Hey 7 what part of canada you in?


Quoting The7
Here is a trading system I have been using for the last 6 month with great results. The idea is "cut your losses short and let the winner run" I am trading only the Daily Charts on dailyfx. It is a web based chart which allows mobility. I am only trading daily's but feel free to test it on different timeframes.

Here are the rules: Do not trade only 1 pair. Use your money management and positions wisely and allow room for as many pairs as possible. The point here is that we want the winners to outrun the losers..

Place a 5 EMA High and 5 EMA...

Thanks The7, very interesting.... I am tracking 16 pairs with this but I only started last night, so only one that I could see so far. The candles start new at 3pm my time. This strategy could work out well for me as I also use candle patterns to spot opportunities’ sometimes ahead of the SMA cross, i.e. pin bar and engulfing etc.
Thanks again, Dave

Added a couple more as the candles closed.
U/Ch went through the 5ema but not as a great signal to go short however its sitting below a big number and has a "sort of" pin bar.
N/U was a buy entry signal through the 5ema
G/CA was also a buy and sitting at a support area.
This is my twist on 7's nice and simple approach but I don’t want to compromise the intent of the thread, just let me know if it’s an issue.

First of all thank you so much for the system. I have a question regarding the timezone. I am using metatrader platform with server time GMT-5
will that impact this strategy? Please advice.

Thanks in advance.

Time zone doesn't matter in regards to strategy. You just have to know when your broker daily candle closes.

Thanks to The7 for sharing his trading strategy.
It's amazing, especially if combined with some indies to confirm the entry.

I saw this engulfing candle that looked too good to be true as the most recent candle had already begun - I looked at it around 9 pm last night (the new candle starts for me @ 3pm), but I thought, what the heck so I bought 0.2 of a lot with a 100 pip SL that was to move to break-even plus 5 pips if it moved to plus 30 pips. When I got up this morning you can see the results - plus 150 pips. I closed the order and made my first coffee.

Denozi, this is a demo account, I am not ready to go live yet. I use The7 set-up (two 5ema's set high and low) and no other indicator’s. I like to draw S&R and use them as a "look out" zone. I look for some candle patterns. I usually go with the trend unless there is one I can't resist - see attached. My FF name is fxscalp1 because when I started I too got a big rush out of scalping unfortunately for me it was mainly my hard earned money RUSHING out of my live account. I now only trade with daily time frame. Sorry about the long answer.

Your right prosper1, the candle touched both sides but I made the exception because it was an engulfing candle. The7 mentioned in a previous post that it might be considered as a trade and that there are no fixed rules for the stratagy other than the ones a trader might use. As I flip through the 18 pairs I have up, I look for the buy or sell signals based on 7's ema's, then I look for confirmation using a few candle patterns and S&R as confirmation.

Sorry - I have a cold, hope my thoughts make sense. I like the7's approach and want to keep it a simple and clean process that I can mould into a working system that I can use. I personally don’t like any indicators. When I first started fx a couple of years ago I got hung up on them to the point that I had charts with more indicators on them than a 747 !

QUESTION FOR THE 7....also includes anyone who has noticed what I have too. Please give feedback. 7, I notice over the last few weeks,that yes, your system has been very profitable. Thanks for sharing it. But I see that your rule of insisting that the body of the candle must be outside the channel is costing many winning trades. In fact I see that if the tail or spike is the only thing going across the channel line, it has been very profitable as well. Why not let the tails or wick/spike count to qualify a trade?

#2-I find that if you enter a trade at lets sat 6pm, 1 hour after market reopens, the rules say to use the previous bar high or low as our stop. But I find that unless that bar is a good size, you are better of gong 2 bars back to use a little wider stop loss. Anyone agree? 7 what do you say? -)

Still bringing in the pips. I missed a few days, due to some PC issues, but The7
is back in the groove. Trades and trade management per Hopwood's EA, which
is working really well.

Is your broker an ECN and do you have ECN = true? Have you turned off the swap filters?
